NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
KEW YORK, April 19.?There are
men in Wall Street who still believe
that not a grum will be fired in war
between the United States and Spain.
It is difficult to find what t'hey base this
assumption on, ibut they hold to it
with sufficient -tenacity to dealine to sell
out their holdings in securities, und
they buy additional securities at any
material decline. These "buyers were
in Ohe market at tihe opening today
and they sustained prices above the
London parity, thus inviting sales for
arbitrage account of many thousand
shares of the international securities,
?which had' 'been bought in London at
the lower priee-l ruling there. The
early decline in London eeemed to in?
dicate a practical abandonment of the
hopes of peace, and Spanish fours both
in London and Paris dropped 3 1-2 per
-rent. The support accorded to Ameri?
cans in New York, after the opening
here. without change in sentiment in
London and also in Berlin and later
I dealings there, witnessed a recovery in
Americans, though the Spanish bonds
continued to drop. This tendency con?
tinued in1 London even after the close
of the exchange in the trading on the
streets. 'It was a tendency that gave
,-olor to the 'belief in certain circles
n Wall Street that Spain is pressed
to relinquish Cuba as a last resort.

Yesterday afternoon at - o'clock bat?
tery P, of tin: Fourth artillery, left
Fort Monroe for Chickamauga Park |
amid the cheers of thousands of Amor- ;
icaus. As the barge on which the troop
was taken to Norfolk started on her
journey the people who crowded the
government pier and tile guests from
the porches of the hotels cheered them
as troops have seldom been cheered be?
fore.
As soon as the barge started to move
away from the pier the fort band
struck up "The Girl C Left Behind Me"
and "Dixie." Some one in the crowd
shouted. "Three cheers for ib.- Fort
Riley boys." and in a minute the noise
was so loud that, it Is doubtful if the
Brooklyn's big siren whistle could have
been beard. Hardly bad the shouts
died away before a government pilot
boat that happened lo be there tired a
salute?live rounds from her little can?
non. Women as well as men waved
American Hags and shouted like Com
anche Indians. One of the little
launches from the battleship Texas
tooted her whistle and in an instant
every steam craft in Hamilton Roads
was whistling: its loudest ami best,
even the st ately flagship Brooklyn join?
ing in the demonstration by turning- on
her large sin-n whistle.
As the barge t iossed Hampton Roads
it passed between the cruiser Minneap?
olis and the battleship Massachusetts.
When it was midway i",on?... t:.ie i\Vo
the sailors of the Massachusetts gave
three cheers for the soldiers and before
those on the barge could answer the
Minneapolis bad repeated the cheers.
Every ship in the squadron took up the
eheer and in a minute Hampton Roads
echoed with the cheers of many of
Uncle Sam's brave tars.
MYSTFRTOUS SHOTTXO.
An Unknown Negro Attempts to Kill
Henry Harris.
Henry Harris, a mklle-aged colored
man. whoso residence is on Grant
sreet. had an experience on Saturday
night which lias removed from his soiil
all anxiety to stand up before n fusj
lade or Spanish bullets, and as a resull
of which his soul and body were dan?
gerously near being separated.
Harris lives with his wife in a vorv
peaceable sort of way. making ends
meet by a judicious application to the
necessaries of'life of the small pension
which be receives from Uncle Sam's
bounteous treasury. If it hadn't been
for the pension Harris might no! now
be laid up with a bullet in his anato?
my.
The trouble .becran when an unknown
colored man called at Harris' house
and asked for bis pension papers, that
he might make copies of them. Harris,
who bad neve,- before seen ihe man.
refused to trust the papers nut of bis
bands. Harris ordered the stranger
to leave his house and. to back bis ul?
timatum with a belligerent attitude, he
seized an nxe with which tn emphasize
his demands: The stranger tarried
not. but heat a hasty retreat until he
reached the gate. Harris, thtntcinir that
the epemv had been successfully driven
from his domain turned toward his
bouse, but the stronger, taking ad?
vantage of the stratesricallv superior
position of hnvinrr ihe enemy unnre
nared. calmly tonic advantage of the
oonortnnitv and unloaded (be contents
of one eliamber of a revolver into his
breast. The bullet entered just below
the heart and an effort to locate it this
afternoon proved of no avail, t'-e nhv
sielnn Probincr four and a half inches
without success.
The crime is surrounded with mvs
tery and the police, who are working
on the case, have been unable to locate
the whereabouts of the criminal, al?
though they express hope that he will
be apprehended either today or tomor?
row. ' ?
At a late hour last night Harris was
reported to be somewhat better and
though his condition is serious it is not
thought that Iiis injury will prove fa?
tal.
AT NOON TODAY.
The Virginia Slate Hoard of Fisheries

Parly yesterday morning Ihe Virgin?
ia State oyster steamer Chesapeake

lief that there will be several hundred
visitors in town during the day.
The offices of oyster Inspector are not
the only ones sought, a-: then' are al
readv a number of gentlemen in the

hoard, but Attnrnev William C. Skin?
